Letter: Consider the cost

The cost of the Affordable Care Act is not clearly seen by editorial writers and news commentators. From their perspective the big businesses should bear the cost without recourse. These individuals have no clue what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

The law as written and implemented has an associated cost. The 30-hour part-time clause is an adverse consequence unforeseen by a government not fully aware of how business works. When coupled with current minimum wage laws, overtime pay may be required for all hours over 30. The public will not pay the necessary cost, hence business failure where no one has a job.
